There were so I went to the rooftop for a going-away party, and honestly, it was really nice. As soon as we got off the elevator, the host was there to greet us and help us find our table, which was a nice touch. To the left was this beautiful pool all lit up at night, and to the right it felt like you were walking into a rose garden. There were vines everywhere, cute tables, and so many perfect spots for pictures. It was also great for people watching. Our table had a comfy couch, chairs, and plenty of space to hang out and relax. The service was great the whole night, and having a bar inside made it even better. We ended up staying pretty late because the atmosphere was fun, the entertainment was good, and there was always something going on. Definitely a really fun spot for a night out

The surrounding area is very walkable, and the valet, doormen, pool staff, and most of the front desk staff were friendly and attentive. My main disappointment was that several amenities were closed without any notice I could find on the website before booking. I chose The Ray largely because its gym looked like one of the best among the hotels I was considering. When I arrived, I was told it was closed for construction, even though it appeared usable. The next morning, another employee offered me a ride to an alternative gym up the street, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, I arrived to find it locked and unattended during its posted hours, so I had to wait for a ride back. When I tried again the following day, it was open, but it was smaller than my one-bedroom apartment. The restaurant and rooftop bar were also closed, which was another inconvenience I hadn't known about before booking. That said, the rooftop pool was lovely, the staff there were attentive, and a bartender was making drinks by the pool on several days. Overall, I enjoyed the property and the people working there. I just wish the amenity closures had been disclosed before I booked, especially since the gym was the reason I chose this hotel.

Parking is $22 a day in their lot. Had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. Really enjoyed staying here. Super trendy and cozy hotel. Love the vibe, personality and casual yet professional laid back style. It's similar to Marriotts AC brand. Room was comfortable and very clean. We were in Room 224. If the sound of cars whizzing by bothers you, ask for a room on the other side away from the street. It was loud until 2am when the last of the Atlantic Ave bars closed. Nice pool on the 2nd floor with a bar. Great gym that even has a Peloton, so I got a workout in too. Everything on the Ave and the beach is within walking distance.

We were so disappointed by the condition of this hotel and the apparent attempt at repeatedly padding the room service and bar bills. We stayed for two weeks due to an insurance claim that left us without a livable home. We booked the suite because we both had to work from the room instead of out of our two home office. I must say that the valet, bellman and room service staff were exceptional, but I had to repeatedly ask for reverses on bills, rooms to be cleaned and more. Each time we ordered room service for breakfast we got more than we ordered or items were missing and were charged for it. I had to show management photos of issues for them to address it and though they put an english speaking person answering the phones, the double food and charging still continued. Austin, the server, had to repeatedly remove extra food, adjust bills, etc. The task of getting receipts was daunting and I had to ask management repeatedly to secure the room service bills to ensure that the credits were accurately billed. The bar needs to be watched as well. We are there twice for dinner and I order a glass of Pablo Rojas. When I checked the bill I was charge $24 instead of $18. When asked, the bartender stated that there were two on the menu. He never asked me which one wanted. This seems to be a common practice. The housekeeping was lacking. The room was infested with sugar ants and when I complained, I was told that they are difficult to manage because of the sugar on the coffee bar but did not rectify the issue. When we checked in I was walking the room with white socks and they ended up filthy.. I had to request that the floors be cleaned. There was also hair in the shower upon check in. We repeatedly had to request that our room be cleaned even though the assistant manager checked with me at check-in and we agreed that it would be cleaned every day at 10:15am. I never heard from him again. The coup-de-gras was our floor leaked and was getting the carpet wet. The first time I complained I was told that engineering has checked it out and that there were no pipes under the floor to create a problem. The carpet was left wet. I complained again and engineering came to our room twice again that evening and agreed that the floor was leaking, but they did not know from where. We lived with a wet carpet the entire time ( no shop-vac, carpet cleaning,). I had to ask management to replace our coffee cups with clean mugs instead of rinsing out and replacing. Housekeeping does not keep any clean glassware of mugs. They just rinse and return. I finally kept disposable cups and styrofoam coffee cups in the room....the sanitation is disgusting.

Do not stay here. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had…read more When we first walked into our room, there was a roach. The room also had water damage and no working air conditioning. The floor felt extremely spongy and was covered in water. Maintenance came to vacuum up the water and left a large industrial fan in the room with a cord stretched across the floor, creating a trip hazard and making it difficult to move around. Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem. When I returned a few hours later, the floor was still covered in water because the AC unit continued leaking. At no point was I told that changing rooms was an option. After speaking with three different employees, I was finally approved to move. We then had to pack everything and move all of our belongings across the hotel, which was a huge inconvenience. The second room was located right next to the bar, where loud music played every night, making it difficult to relax. The water leak also damaged my leather shoes, which cost $300. I had only worn them once. The hotel initially offered a $150 room credit, which did not come close to covering the damage. The operations manager asked me very invasive questions like how long had I had them and what brand they were. The Operations Manager later told me he would also waive charges of $131 and $111. However, when I checked out, I was informed that only the $150 credit had been applied. I was told the Operations Manager had left a note instructing staff not to waive anything further. To make matters worse, after I posted a one-star review, I received a call from the hotel. Instead of trying to resolve the situation, I was told I had never been promised the additional credits, that I was being rude, and that Florida's humidity attracts bugs and causes AC leaks. I found this response incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. Between the roach, the leaking AC, the room change, the damaged personal property, and the inconsistent communication from management, this was an extremely disappointing experience. Rather than taking responsibility, the managers minimized my concerns and made me feel like I was the problem. I would not recommend staying here.

My experience at Crane's Beach House Boutique Hotel & Luxury Villas was one of the most…read moreinhospitable & poorly managed hotel experiences I have ever had. Before arrival, I was never informed that my room would be located on the second floor with stair-only access & no elevator assistance. Traveling with a service animal while displaced due to active home renovations, repeatedly carrying luggage up and down steep stairs alone was physically exhausting. Accessibility limitations should be disclosed upfront. Despite displaying a clearly visible "Do Not Disturb" sign, housekeeping disturbed &/or attempted to enter my room at approximately 9:00AM on multiple occasions. Being repeatedly awakened after specifically requesting privacy is unacceptable, especially for a property marketing itself as boutique luxury. The most concerning part of my stay was the treatment I received from the front desk employee, Ryan. Nearly every interaction felt hostile, combative, & entirely lacking in professionalism or hospitality. After initially booking one night, I extended my stay due to delays with my home renovations. Immediately after booking, I received a phone call aggressively informing me that I still had to check out at noon & could not check back in until 4:00PM. This occurred multiple times throughout my stay despite online inventory consistently showing available rooms of the SAME ROOM TYPE the night before & during the day I rebooked. There appeared to be no legitimate operational reason to repeatedly force a paying guest to vacate for hours while managing luggage, stairs, & a service animal. The repeated forced check-outs & room changes felt unnecessarily rigid & punitive. At one point I genuinely felt less like a guest & more like they were doing me a favor. I normally don't pay to stay somewhere that feels like a prison. The handling of my service animal was equally inappropriate. During one of the early morning housekeeping disturbances, my service dog barked after being startled awake. Within approximately 30 seconds, I received a phone call demanding that I "register my dog." I explained that it was a service animal, which I had already disclosed during check-in. Instead of acknowledging that, I was interrupted and asked, "You mean an emotional support animal?" I again clarified that it was a service animal. The interaction felt dismissive, uninformed, and inappropriate given the hospitality industry's basic obligations regarding service animals. On my final reservation, housekeeping again attempted to enter my room around 9:00AM despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign remaining posted. When I addressed it with the office, I was falsely told that I had supposedly informed staff I would be checking out at 6:00 AM. What I had actually explained was that I preferred a first-floor room because repeatedly carrying luggage down stairs alone at 6:00AM was difficult. Cleanliness was also a major issue. I stayed in three different rooms, and every room had visibly dirty floors. My socks became dirty simply from walking around the rooms. More concerning, the AC vents appeared covered with black buildup and heavy dust, raising serious concerns about cleanliness, maintenance, & indoor air quality. Regretfully, I gave the property another chance & booked an additional two-night reservation because my roof renovation was still unfinished. Almost immediately after booking, I received another disruptive phone call informing me I would again have to fully check out, change rooms, and wait until 4:00 PM to re-check in. After days of repeated disruptions, room changes, & hostile interactions, I requested that the reservation be canceled. I was initially told "no." Only after escalating my frustration vocally did staff suddenly agree to contact Expedia & process the refund. What makes the experience more disappointing is that the gentleman who originally checked me in was genuinely pleasant & professional along with the housekeeping manager. Unfortunately, every interaction afterward became increasingly adversarial. This property failed in accessibility transparency, privacy, professionalism, cleanliness, flexibility, and customer service. The repeated room transfer demands, mishandling of a service animal situation, visibly dirty conditions, apparent mold buildup around vents, & hostile front desk interactions made the entire stay exhausting & stressful. This establishment does not deserve the title of "boutique luxury." I strongly caution travelers, especially those with accessibility needs, respiratory sensitivities, or service animals, to stay elsewhere. HOTEL'S RESPONSE TAKES NO ACCOUNTABILITY, DISREGARDS THE REAL ISSUES & MAKES EXCUSES.

There are closer hotels to the beach, but on this day the beach was not my destination. I arrived mid afternoon for check-in, and I was lucky enough to get a spot right out front. The hotel does have a parking garage available at a cost, but there are also some free spaces out front. I checked in and the staff was very friendly and efficient. I got room 348 which overlooks the pool. It's a very modern room layout, consistent with most Hyatt Place locations. The AC was at a comfortable temperature, and the room was clean. The bathroom was ideal for a single traveler, it might be tight for a full family vacation. The shower pressure and temperature were decent, though unexceptional. The TV had plenty of channels, and the channels were listed in alphabetical order which made it easy to find what I was looking to see. The next morning, breakfast was complimentary, so I showed up right as the restaurant opened at 6:30 a.m. for fresh eggs, fruit salad, yogurt, etc. along with coffee and juice. Check out, with friendly staff, and a reasonable price. I am a Hyatt points member, and was awarded the right amount of points for this trip.
